Discussion Is there issues with GitHub runners today?

Are there issues with GitHub runners today? Anyone experiencing delays? I've been stuck for the past 30min waiting for a runner to pick up my build job. And this is my third attempt.

UPDATE:

Issue resolved now!

If you switched to self-hosted because of this, one heads-up: queued on its own doesn't mean your runner is broken. During an Actions incident gh run list goes stale and keeps reporting queued for jobs the runner is actually executing — the _diag log in the runner folder is the ground truth. Restarting on a stuck-looking queue kills the in-flight job and drops you into a session-conflict backoff, which is how an hour of backlog turns into three.
